Virtual reality is all the rage these days, but we were delighted when our live event in Florida last week turned in some amazing virtual stats. Florida was a little different for us this year. While we hosted a large, live event, approximately 45% of our items were located at our seller’s sites. Anyone who attends our Thursday auctions knows this is par for the course. Going into last week we wondered what the impact might be at such a large live auction. The results were astounding - once again a testament to the power of online.

Investing hard-earned dollars in heavy equipment is stressful; buying equipment online calls for an especially high level of trust. That's why IronPlanet devotes a great deal of time and energy to training our inspectors and developing detailed reports for the buyer. IronPlanet’s inspection program, including the company’s patented IronClad Assurance®, is built from the ground up to ensure that every inspection meets a high bar of accuracy and comprehensiveness.

Not only do IronPlanet inspectors view of every part of the machine, they take samples of the engine, transmission, and hydraulic oils to send to the lab for analysis. If problems are detected, they are reflected on the report.
